Little Lizard

Her little tail kept wagging vigorously behind her, the smile on her face widening when her mother confirmed she had jumped very high when pouncing on the lizard. The reptile kept trying to escape her paws, and Clove did her best to hold it down with enough pressure to keep it still, but also not hurt it. She appreciated Briar creating a barrier with her forelegs to help it from running off should it worm out of her grasp, because she wouldn’t have been able to catch it again so soon. She had already used a lot of energy chasing after it!

When Briar asked if she would give it a name, a ponderous expression spread across her face. A name… she hadn’t thought about giving it one until now. If she gave it a name, that meant she would be claiming it as her own, which wasn’t something she was opposed to. “How about….” Her little mind was racing, trying to think of something clever. But after some thought, all she could come up with was, “..friend!” The lizard would become her first friend outside of her family, so why not call the lizard friend? “Oh, mama, we will need something to keep it in!” Her mind was already jumping to the next task, which would be making an enclosure for it to live in. “Will you help me make a house for it?” She didn’t have the first clue of what a lizard would need to survive, but surely Briar would know. And it would be yet another way she could spend time with, and bond with her mother.

-exit/fade out with them making a lizard enclosure? <3-
